ISP: Week 25 – Week before the 68th derby

Saba 2 2 Sepahan

***

Steel Azin scored yet another late winner as they grabbed all three points in Shiraz. Only Sepahan has now scored more goals than Steel Azin.

***

As if they didn’t have enough firepower before Steel Azin made yet another high profile signing in Mehdi Mahdavikia.

***

That’s Karimi, Mahdavikia, Zandi, Shapourzadeh, Kavianpour, Vahedi and Kabi; All current or former national team players that the club has signed since this summer.

***

Somehow though the club forgot to sign defensive minded players and that’s why only three clubs has been scored on more times than Steel Azin.

***

Moghavemat 1 2 Steel Azin

***

With a few days to go to the 68^th Tehran derby Hamid Estili is grabbing all the headlines after suddenly walking out on Steel Azin. What just happened?

***

Marfavi has scored two game winning goals in two derbies; Daei none.

***

Peykan 1 3 Persepolis

***

With the 444 million signing of Rahmati and the addition of Jalal Hosseini everyone was picking Sepahan for the best defense in the ninth league. Who though would have picked them scoring five more than the second best team after 25 weeks and with one game in spare?

***

Daei is the fifth head coach of Persepolis in just over a year!

***

Esteghlal 3 1 Abumoslem

***

What’s happened with Mes Kerman? Coming into this season they had a twenty something game unbeaten record at home!

How about those Tractor fans?
